USA: CHP rakennusten energiansäästöön

US launches CHP accelerator scheme. The US Department of Energy has launched a programme designed to accelerate the
uptake of combined heat and power (CHP) in the nation. As part
of the national Climate Action Plan, the Better Buildings Initiative

aims to
make commercial, public, industrial and residential buildings 20% more
energy-efficient over the next decade.

Under its rubric, the new Better Buildings Combined Heat and Power for
Resiliency Accelerator, announced last week, aims to boost investment in CHP
projects across the country. In collaboration with states, communities,
utilities and other stakeholders, the project plans to examine how resiliency
planners perceive CHP, identify technology or information gaps that could be
barriers to adoption, and develop CHP plans for communities. [dec]
